I'm in the opposite boat from you I do front squats not back squats. The reason for this is that I have too forward a lean & round my back when performing back squats. I'd end up with injury if I loaded up & performed back squats. Having the bar in front forces me to stay upright & counterbalances me.

I sometimes do strength & cardio together or at separate times on the same day. I prioritize strength over cardio when I'm focused on strength goals & cardio over strength when I switch goals say to improving sprint time. I cross train to improve overall general functional fitness. For strength training again what I do…

My overarching goal is to improve my functional fitness level to enjoy a high quality of life with emphasis on mind-body connection. I have 0 interest in comparing myself to someone else's standards or against other people as long as I continue to see measurable performance improvements for example by beating my own PRs…

I workout at work at lunch most weekdays. We are fortunate to have a small, well stocked gym. It works fairly well overall but with only 1 Olympic bar & no power/squat rack I always need to go ready with a backup plan & leave off any heavy squatting for the gym I have a membership at.

I always do strength work before cardio if doing both strength & cardio on the same day. Doung cardio first just drains my energy not allowing me to maximize my strength work. If I'm including power work I prioritize that even before strength.
